THE LAST LEAGU GAME.
THE HAYERLYS DEFEATED AFTER
AN EXCITING CONTEST.
Mullee's Timely Hit in the Tenth
Inning Saves the Home CLUB
From an Inglorious Defeat.

Yesterdays ball game at Snowflake Park
was undoubtedly the most exciting ever
played at the new grounds. 1t was the
last game of the league series, and although
the Atlas are not in the position they
should occupy, they can boast OF winning
by hard work the last contest. The weather
was trifie chilly for the spectators, who
assembled in large numbers, but all that
could be desired by the players.
The Atlas had the game all their own
way until the ninth inning, when the
Haverlys pulled up and tied the score, and
made an extra inning necessary to deter
mine the result. The umpiring of Barry
was satisfactory to all sides: though some
of his decisions on balls and strikes were
decidedly a. off" IncelI and Hardie formed
the battery for the Haverlys while Nc
Laughlin and Mullee did the heavy work
tor the home club. Both pitchers were
batted freely and were pretty nearly
" winded at the end of the game. 1ncell
appeared TO be nervous near the close,
although he made no wild pitches at the
critical moments.
Levy led in batting, making three clear
base hits and phantom. The Haverlys
had Sweeney in his old position on third.
He felded well but is out Of practice in
throwing to FIST base. Lawton, Creegan
and Levy of the Haverlys played an error
less game, the former also being very
effective at the bat. For the Atlas O'Day,
Powers, Mclaughlin and Mullee welded
the ash as though they meant it. Newbert's
work at shortstOp was superb, and his
throwing 10 first q feature. Anderson was
somewhat 'rattled" at exciting times. but
he made no serious errors. Powers played
good game at first, but lost his head in
one instance, while trying to think what
to do with the ball. Cahill did very good
work, and proved himself to be an admira-
BILE coacher The small boys kept up
continuous shouting al him, evidently de-
lighted in his work. The Atlas white
washed their opponents for the first four
innings and also in the seventh and eighth.
At the end of the eighth inning the score
stood TO in favor of the Atlas, and at
the commencement Of the ninth Jake
Maggie stepped out and presented Billy
Mclaughlin with bouquet of flowers. To
this event the Atlas attribute their tight
squeeze during the remainder of the game.

inning, and the crowd began to go
succeeded in placing three men on bases, the
color in the faces of the Alta admirers be-
gan to turn to a deep blue hue. Sweeney
then made a three-bagger ana the three
Haverly boys crossed the plate. Another
three-bagger from Donahues bat tied the
score, and the crowd were wild with excite
ment In the tenth inning the Haverlys
made another run, and the home club al
most lost hope. The first two Alta batters
in the tenth inning were put out, aid the
crowd began to surge from the grounds.
Meagher had three strikes called on him,
but hit the ball little rap and was safe at
first on Donahue's error. Mullee, to whom
all louh ed as tie, say ior &C the nine, braced
up and hit the ball such terrific whack
that he rested safely on third before it was
fielded. People came clamoring back into
the grounds. and when O'Day made
clear base hit, bringing in Mullee, hats
were thrown into the air and the shouts
were deafening. The game was then and
there ended, the score standing 8 to in
favor of the Alta boys. Following is the
official score:
